We just finished a installing a backyard privacy fence that was a DIY gift to myself for Father’s Day. We can now enjoy our weekend BBQ’s in privacy and not worry about being too loud for our neighbors.

During this project I wore a pair of new DuluthFlex Ultimate Fire Hose Cargo Pants and I must say they are now my go-to work pants. I’ve enjoyed the standard Fire Hose Cargo Pants but I was looking for something a bit lighter to wear during the hot summer months and the DuluthFlex Ultimate pants certainly deliver.

These pants were extremely durable and I didn’t worry about tearing them against the steel panels or ripping them while navigating around trees and bushes. They also had plenty of great pockets to store drill bits and concrete screws for easy access.

These pants are a third lighter than the standard Fire Hose canvas pants but just as durable with and with 3x the flex.

Features include:

DuluthFlex™ Fire Hose cotton canvas has 3% stretchy spandex so you can kneel, crouch, stretch without your work pants feeling like a vise

You said “Jeans-style back pockets are less bulky when you sit (no cargo flaps)” but I see flaps. Was this a typo or am I misunderstanding you?

Are these cool enough for those hot summer days?

Thanks for the review.

Good eye – that feature was listed from the manufacturer, but yes there are flaps. The flaps and pockets on these pants are very low profile so they are definitely not bulky at all. These pants are lightweight but durable and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them in the summer.
